The short explanation of this alert was:
House file 1812 is an Omnibus State Budget Bill. Versions of the bill have passed both the House and Senate. Now it will be sent to a conference committee to work out the differences.
The bill is 376 pages in length and includes appropriations for multiple state agencies as well as provisions relating to health care and higher education. The specific measure in the bill MAPE is most interested in relates to Workforce Planning and Retention.
With 30% of all state employees on the verge or retirement, Minnesota is about to experience a major workforce transition. This provision will help the state prepare for this shift by saving money on employee turnover, retaining knowledgeable state employees beyond the date they are eligible to retire, and encourage long term employees to extend their service, aiding the training of new employees.
